Before we knew it, Ying Zheng and Zhao Kun had been in Zhangcao Village for more than two months.

It’s the hot summer now and the heat is rolling.

At this time, under a big tree, Ying Zheng and Zhao Kun were enjoying the cool air, and there were tenants who were farming in the distance.

"Entertainment Father, we don't have much money anymore." Zhao Kun wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a grin.

In the past two months, they have sold everything they can sell and hidden everything they can’t sell.

Although Zhou Kui saved them, living in other people's houses for a long time is not a solution.

Therefore, Zhao Kun gave Zhou Kui some of the money he sold as a thank you, and the rest was used to build a house and live.

Ying Zheng looked at the tenant, then at Zhao Kun, and said in a deep voice: "It is really not a solution to sit in the empty house, we have to find something to do."

"We have no land, no one, and we are still outsiders. What can we do?" Zhao Kun smiled helplessly.

"Didn't you have many ways to make money before?"

Ying Zheng squinted his eyes at Zhao Kun and joked: "Now is the time to show your skills!"

"cut!"

Zhao Kun said with some contempt: "Before we were nobles, but it was not easy for aristocrats to make money? Now we are civilians, and civilians to make money, but it is not that easy for aristocrats to make money."

As he said that, he couldn't help but complain: "If the adoptive father had promoted his business earlier, we could do some small business. Now it's even more difficult to do business!"

"Hey~ you guys!"

Ying Zheng glared at Zhao Kun and said, "If you can't think of a solution, you can't think of a solution. Why do you blame the rebel father for coming?"

"I'm blaming you..."

Zhao Kun muttered in a low voice.

Ying Zheng was both angry and funny, and was about to speak up when he suddenly heard Zhou Kui's voice coming from afar: "Xiao Zhao, Lao Zhao, why are you here? You have been looking for you for a long time!"

"Um?"

Hearing Zhou Kui's voice, Zhao Kun and Ying Zheng looked at the same time, but saw Zhou Kui running over with sweat.

"Xiao Zhao...Old Zhao, let me tell you that the dock is recruiting workers, and they are 10 yuan a day, and they also have meals!" Zhou Kui said breathlessly.

Zhao Kun: "......"

Ying Zheng: "......"

Both of them looked at each other, both speechless.

After a while, Zhao Kun pursed his lips, looked at Zhou Kui with a strange expression, and asked, "What is the job recruitment of this dock?"

"What else can I do? Just carry a sack!"

Before Zhou Kui could finish his words, the tenants in the fields hung up the white cloth around their waists to wipe their sweat, shouting that they were thirsty, and then ran to the well platform under the tree tiredly.

"Akui, your relatives do nothing all day and don't find a job for them?"

A young tenant was drinking water while shouting at Zhou Kui.

Zhou Kui turned his head and smiled, "The Chengdong Wharf is recruiting workers, I just told them!"

"It's hard to get along with Wu Ji at the East Pier of Chengdong, be careful..."

"It's okay, let's help a job and don't cause trouble!"

"It's better not to cause trouble, it's better not to cause trouble." The young tenants who were drinking water nodded one after another.

They grew up with Brother Zhou Kui. When Brother Zhou Kui went to work in labor, they spontaneously became the role of "Big Brother" and occasionally took care of Zhou Kui's family.

Although the care is minimal, everyone is a kind person.

Zhao Kun glanced at the group of tenants and asked Zhou Kui again: "Who is the Wu Ji they are talking about?"

"This..." Zhou Kui frowned, looking like he was eager to speak but stopped.

Ying Zheng hated this expression the most, so he started to speak: "If you have anything, how can men be afraid of their heads and tails!"

"No, Lao Zhao, this is the thing."

Zhou Kui was silent for a moment and lowered his voice: "The Wu family was originally a nobleman of Zhao, but later Qin destroyed the six countries, and the family was destroyed, and the Wu family members scattered and fled;

Later, the county magistrate of Xiyang County was transferred to the post, and a county magistrate of Zhao State was born. The Wu family and the new county magistrate were old acquaintances, so they returned to the city one after another."

As he said that, he looked around and found that no one passed by, and continued: "There are four brothers in the Wu family. The eldest is called Wu Bo, the second is called Wu Zhong, the third is called Wu Uncle, and the fourth is called Wu Ji."

"Wu Bo was a big merchant in this county. In the past, most of the food and grass in the army were donated by Wu Bo..."

"As for Wu Ji... he is the biggest bully in this county, he is a person he must not provoke!"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows and asked curiously: "You just talked about Wu Bo and Wu Ji, where are Wu Zhong and Uncle Wu?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Kui replied carefully: "Wu Zhong and Uncle Wu became bandits in Huangya Cave because they committed suicide during the escape..."

"Wait a moment!"

Before Zhou Kui finished his words, Zhao Kun waved his hand and interrupted: "You said that the four brothers of the Wu family donated grain to the army, and the second and third brothers became bandits?"

“Yes…yes.”

Zhou Kui smiled bitterly. He was also very surprised that such a family could gain a foothold in the county town, and I don’t know what the county magistrate thought.

But no matter what, he dared not discuss the county magistrate.

Seeing that Zhao Kun stopped asking, Zhou Kui looked at Ying Zheng again and said sincerely: "Old Zhao, this east wharf of the city belongs to the Wu family, and Wu Ji is responsible for the supervision. Although he is brave and cruel, he has never done anything illegal. As long as you abide by the rules and help you, he will not make things difficult for you!"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng smiled without objection, then turned to look at Zhao Kun: "I have no objection, it depends on how Xiao Zhao decides."

"That little Zhao..." Zhou Kui also turned his head to look at Zhao Kun.

Zhao Kun thought for a while and said with a smile: "It's okay anyway, it's okay to go over and take a look."

"Okay, I'll go with you!" Zhou Kui said excitedly: "There are still a few acquaintances on the dock."

“Okay.”

Zhao Kun nodded, then patted Ying Zheng on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, how many floors do they have to carry a bag of rice!"

“………”

Ying Zheng rolled his eyes in his heart. He didn't believe that Zhao Kun would carry the sack, so he must have made some tricks.

However, the county magistrate of Xiyang County is really bold and dares to collude with bandits. Could it be that he was in Xiyang to cover up the sky?

No wonder Zhao Kun said that there was a problem with the officials of the Qin Dynasty. It was just this little Xiyang County, and I don’t know how many tricks it was hidden.

After thinking about it, Ying Zheng got up calmly, followed Zhao Kun and Zhou Kui, and came all the way to the east pier of the city.

………

Zhao Kun and Ying Zheng were taken to a shade of a tree by Zhou Kui, waiting for their companions.

Not long after, a few young men, wearing torn shoes and ragged clothes, ran over.

"Akui, we are here!" A short, older young man waved at Zhou Kui.

As soon as the young man finished speaking, everyone beside him greeted Zhou Kui.

"Brother Kui!"

"Xiao Kui..."

“………”

Zhou Kui nodded and his friends for a moment, then pointed at Ying Zheng and Zhao Kun and introduced: "Second and third sons, let's introduce it. This is Xiao Zhao, that is Lao Zhao, and they are all distant relatives of my family."

"This time I come to the dock to help, please take care of me."

"It's all my own people, and I can't tell you how to take care of you." A tall young man said with a smile.

"Yes, they are all their own people and should be taken care of." Another young man echoed.

At this time, the short young man frowned, pulled Zhou Kui aside, and whispered: "Why haven't I heard that you have a distant relative?"

Zhou Kui smiled and explained, "I didn't know at first, but later I heard from my mother that it was from my father..."

"On your father's side?"

"Yes, you know, my father is an outsider!"

The short young man nodded, suddenly remembered something, turned his head to look at Zhao Kun and the others, and said, "I see that their skin is white and tender, unlike ordinary people, don't be deceived by them!"

Zhou Kui shook his head and smiled: "My mother has confirmed their tokens, so there will be no problem!"

"But……"

"Okay, Brother Niu Er, you can't trust them, can't trust me?"

Zhou Kui patted the short young man on the shoulder and said with a serious face.

"Okay, since you say he is your relative, then I will be your relative, but the Wu family will check their identity, and it will not work without verification of the transmission!"

"Don't worry, they have a verification!"

As he was speaking, a shout came from the dock: "Dear two or three helpers, come and register quickly, the work will start soon!"
